Jeremy Clarkson accepts millionth Range Rover for forces heroes
Jeremy Clarkson accepted the one millionth Range Rover produced in Britain on behalf of Help for Heroes today.
The Top Gear presenter was given the car at an event in Earls Court, west London, attended by soldiers who had served in Afghanistan.
The £85,000 Vogue, which had the number plate "1,000,000", will be sold at auction later this year to raise money for Help for Heroes.
The charity supports members of the Armed Forces who were wounded in action and Mr Clarkson is one of its patrons.
Mr Clarkson said: "Help for Heroes is just the most incredible success story.
"They do everything from building a swimming pool to completely changing the way wounded soldiers are viewed in this country and I'm very proud to support them."
He said: "I was just doing some maths and I can't believe it's the millionth.
"I feel like we've got a bit of history here."
The Range Rover was driven from Solihull, West Midlands, where it was built, to London by Land Rover's managing director, Phil Popham.
He was followed on the 118-mile drive by a convoy of heritage Range Rovers, driven by their enthusiast owners.
The millionth Range Rover was joined on stage at Earls Court by an older cousin - the 40th Range Rover produced at the Solihull plant.
